[flexcoders] Security Cameras
Hi I have a Flex3 application that is displaying images from a security camera. The camera doesn't stream video but I can get a jpg from it. Because the camera is on a different network, I had to write a php application to get the jpg and send it to the flex app (due to security) The flex app has an auto update that after the image has loaded, a 10 sec timer runs and reloads the image. I load the image into a new bitmap and then swap the images. Currently it stopped working. it seems to only show the last image, like a caching issue. If I call on the php app the image updates with every reload. I don't see what might be causing this. Any suggestions. I was just looking at Tour de FLEX, and there were Effects like Crossfade that could switch between images, but could I make the images dynamic, not embedded? Thanks
[flexcoders] Blank Images
I am testing something with Flex3 and need some guidance. I have a security camera that I can only see as a jpeg 320x240 and I am trying to get a flex program to display an image every 3 seconds. I have used the control and created a timer event to refresh the image every 5 seconds. The problem is that the image blanks out during the reload, so in effect I get a 2 second image, 3 second blank. What would be a good solution to remove the blank times? URLLoader?, is there some part of the image controls to remove the blank during load? Thanks Joe
[flexcoders] Re: Landscape printing in Flex
How did you get the reading of the orientation to work?
print orientation is a property of PrintJob, and not FlexPrintJob.
I have a page designed in a vbox component, which contains my form to
be printed.
PrintJob uses a sprite. The LiveDocs show to do something like:
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob
if (pj.start() != true) {
return;
}
if (pj.orientation != PrintJobOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
Alert.show("Choose Landscape", "Error", Alert.OK);
return;
}
I can't do this using FlexPrintJob
Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Landscape printing in Flex
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input, I also am tring to print a certificate.
Like I posted earlier, I need to print the page landscape.
I've been working on it for hours..
I've done the following:
// The function to print the output.
public function doPrint():void {
var pj:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if (pj.start() != true )
{
return;
}
var myPrintview:FormPrintView = new
FormPrintView();
myPrintview.width=1100;
myPrintview.height=900;
myPrintview.rotation=90;
this.addChild(myPrintview);
pj.addObject(myPrintview,
FlexPrintJobScaleType.FILL_PAGE);
pj.send();
Where FormPrintView is a Vbox component.
The rotation just doesn't seem to work right. It seems that the
width, height and origin seem to get confused along the way, so the
Scaling gets confused.
I even tried to design the page rotated, but when you rotate a label,
you can't see it anymore :-(
So I am going to resort to Telling the user to select Landscape in
thier printer preferences and check that they have done it.

someone prints is to tell them to set their printer to landscape.
Once the print job is processed I check the orientation and if it was
not set to landscape I alert them that their printer was not in
landscape mode and for full page printing they need to set their
orientation to landscape.

[flexcoders] Landscape printing in Flex
Is there anyway to define landscape to the printer? I am working on a project that I need to print a single page that is in landscape. I've created a component that is 800 x 600, the print job adds that component as an print object and sends. If under the system printer dialog box, I don't choose landscape, it won't print out properly. I've tried rotating the object 90 degrees during the print process and no luck. Any suggestions? thanks
[flexcoders] SWFLoader Problems
I am working on an app and having troubles trying to get content to play properly. The user selects an item from the menu which trigers SWFLoader to load a Flash 8 swf file. When loaded, the sound doesn't play, popups aren't working. After researching, it seems to be a issue with Flex and Flash 8. I recreated one of the files as a Flex application, I copy the Flex SWF to the server and run (testclient.swf). It now plays the audio track. I tried to use SWFLoader.SoundTransform to adjust the volume and it didn't work (I don't know why). My last attempt has been to move the volume controls into the external app, which works, but I need the main app to know / set the volume and mute (to maintain settings between pages). I have been trying SystemManager and am able to set a variable in the client app, but I haven't been able to determine when the app is there and available. SWFLoader creationcomplete="initSWF();" gets called when SWFLoader object is created. SWFLoader complete="initSWF();" also seems to get called when the SWFLoader is completed. I have been trying in the initSWF() routine waiting for LoadedSM.application (LoadedSM is an earlier created SystemManager object pointing to my SWFLoader id); If I put a button on the screen, the click event will update a text label on the child using LoadedSM.application["lbl"].text = "Testing"; Am I missing something with SWFLoader? can I get my original flash8 files to work properly? Should SoundTransform actually control the sound of the SWF? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joe
